Oh, well. Some other day, perhaps.

Ooops.

The annual midwinter thaw may be upon us. Possibly.

Ok, so this entire comic is really an excuse for me to brag about my ride on Sunday. And no, I didn't actually go visit Liane or John, since I have no clue where they actually live in their respective towns.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa........

Many thanks to John and Pete who made this workout possible. I think I would have stopped at panel #2, if I were by myself.

Sniff...

The pieces were actually halfway decent, so I am not all that upset about panels 1-3.

By the time I was done, Matt and Erik R. had arrived as well, and I ran into Sean on the way home. Brilliant!

For more market studies, see here

And DONE. For now.

Of course, this evening, the water was absolutely, perfectly, flat. Go figure.

Damn it, I have to update the list AGAIN?????

In my defense, I didn't really forget the Kuronen principle. I was merely applying Smith's Law--"The Kuronen principle is generally not observed in the presense of motorized watercraft with a megaphone on board". I think I'll go update that "top ten signs that I am a dork" list now.

It is also entirely possible that I was just plain lazy. But I did spend four and half hours watching some excellent college basketball on Friday. And if Shelden Willaims learned to shoot free throws, it would have been far less exciting. :)

And that was still the best toe-ing job I've done in my life. Pretty sad, eh?

I think I've had about two days this year when I've rowed 25 miles in two workouts, never mind one. Wow. Well done.

We haven't had one of these text-only comics in a bit. The fact that it's about email, and neither Sean nor John is involved is trully mind boggling.

Ok, something entertaining needs to happen in the am, or this will continue indefinitely.
p.s. congatulations to our newly elected officials. Especially the captain and secretary.

I believe the proper scientific name is Dorkus Igorus.

Sorry no comic today. Probably will post something for today and friday over the weekend.

As promised:

Of course, trampolines are also a possibility.

Since this is the dorkiest comic EVER, the graphs should be explained. When two lines intersect, people passed each other. Note that Rob's line gets closer but never intersects mine. Adrian should feel fortunate that Miranda wasn't there, otherwise his line would have been hot pink. The "drugs" are a coach, a fellow rower, and a device attached to one's oars.

Thanks to Trevor, Pete and Sean and the two power boat guys, whose names, to my everlasting shame, I didn't get.
p.s. I feel very fortunate to draw little pictures about what happened. Or, anything, for that matter.

Thought I'd praise the weather for a change.

Ok, I might be exaggerating a bit. But not as much as you would think. Tom probably thought he was in Legoland(Lego reference, copyright 2005, Pete Morelli).

Unfortunately for the ladies in the audience, you have to frequent the men's locker room to fully appreciate the last panel.

See panel 3.

Sweat or tears? You decide...

It appears that the Friday comic is becoming quite educational (or, at least the last two have been). Oh, and CRASH-Bs are February 26th, if anyone actually cared.
Err... February 25th, as pointed out by an astute reader...

I went to the basin first, in case you were wondering just how badly I had to steer to manage to find six miles betwee RBC and CRI.

Not sure if I like this new format that divides the DVD into Olympic and Non-Olympic events, instead of just Saturday and Sunday finals.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaa....

I'd like to thank the entire Charles River Community, USRowing, my fellow club members, (in particular Sean, John, Pete and Tom and me), for continuing to make asses of themselves and keeping this comic going. Also, congratulations to all those who raced this weekend, and especially those who medalled. You know who you are.

Ah... USRowing...

Yeah, I know, I am really scraping the bottom of the barrel here. Lack of calories impedes brain function???
